The stained glass windows were presented by members of the Hurll family in memory of John and Isabella Hurll of
Woodneuk House. John Hurll came from humble beginnings to establish the Fireclay business of Hurll, Young & Co., in partnership with John Young, in the 1850's.
John Hurll (grandson) and his wife, Matilda (Maud) presented the windows. Maud was one of the first female graduates of St. Andrew's University.
The windows depicting the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge were designed by Gordon Webster, son of Alf Webster, who designed those in Glasgow Cathedral and St. Andrew's University.
